Great Family Atmosphere!

What a great place to have our first camping experience with our children! Each site came with a fire ring and picnic table bench. It was pitch black at night around the campground, but the bathroom facilities were well lit and very clean. There’s an absolutely wonderful playground inside the campground and lots of trails and paddle boats by the harbor. Lots of mature trees. Loved listening to all the birds! Very easy electric hookup.

Great park

Campground is part of large county park. Sites on a loop set in the woods suitable for tents or small campers. Beautiful park has a lake with kayaking/canoe/rowboat/paddle boat rentals and a few pontoon boats for rent but is otherwise just for non-motorized boats. good fishing both from the rental rowboats and shore. Several well maintained hiking and walking trails. Also a great bike trail (7.8 and 1.6 mile paved loops), disc golf, kids sprayground and 18 hole golf course.
